Highlands Mayor Carolyn Broullon and Council president Joann Olszewski were both at the Guenther home on Marine Place this week while the Mayor presented a plaque to the third of the five generations of Guenthers who have called Highlands their summer home for 100 years.
The proclamation relayed a brief history of the areas in the borough where the Guenthers lived over the years, the storms they’ve weathered and the fact their current home started out life as a Sears do-it-yourself house kit, a popular home building project in the early and middle 20th century.
Mayor Broullon, center, presented the plaque to siblings, Eric, Walt, Janet Neighbors and Kurt Guenther. The Guenthers were also honored with a mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church and congratulated in the Sunday bulletin for the church where they have been summer parishioners for a century.
